Al-Hilal released Neymar!

Who can expect that the career of Neymar (31 years old) in Saudi Arabia started badly? Well, the truth is that the Al-Hilal decided this week to remove the Brazilian from the club’s list of players participating in the Saudi Pro League.

But be careful, because there is a trick. Although preliminary information indicated that the Saudi team broke the contract Neymar, Mundo Deportivo found out that the reality is very different. The Brazilian, with damage to his knee ligaments, will be sidelined for most of the season and Al-Hilal took advantage of this situation.

Since the team met the quota of foreign players, the arrival of Renan Lodi, signed for 23 million euros from Olympique de Marseille, This indicated that space had to be made for him somehow. Selling the player is not among the possibilities of Al-Hilalwho had studied the evacuation maneuver Neymarwho is already registered to play next season, once he has recovered.

While Neymar is in the process of recovery, although the party he organized on a luxury cruise would probably have been more noticeable, the forecasts said that there was no indication that he could reappear this season, so the transfer of Al-Hilalthat at the end of the season has to do with the overbooking of foreigners, is smart.

Neymar’s poor numbers this season

Another season is passing in the career of Neymar no pain or glory. Although in his defense it must be said that his history has been marked by injuries, the non-sporting aspect hasn’t helped either.

At 31 years old, the worst illness of all came, a knee injury that left him on the stand for the entire season. Or, for now in Brazil, because he decided not to recover in Saudi Arabia and go home.

Neymar, for whom Al-Hilal paid PSG 90 million euros and earns around 300 kilos per seasona true outrage, will end the season having played only 5 games for his club, where he scored 1 goal and provided 3 assists, so for now the bet has not worked and we will have to see if it works in the rest of the seasons.
